Warm them up. Get them nice and warm so that Nina's monkey will never have a cold heart. Everybody has to jump up and down, get the heartbeat started for Nina. Good job. Stretch up high for hi Hope. All the girls have to put on their hair so Nina's monkey will never have a bad hair day. And the boys put it on your muscles so it'll be really strong. Put it on your cheek, guys, so the monkey will be really cute, like all of you. On your nose, it'll always smell good. On your ears, it'll always be a good listener. Everybody hold up the heart really high and as loud as you can. Say, happy birthday, Nina. Happy birthday, Nina. Everybody give the heart a big kiss and come put all the hearts inside for her. Good job, guys. Thank you. Thank you.
We'll put the tag inside Nina in case you ever.
Lose your monkey. If you lose it and somebody brings it back to build a bear, we can bring it back to you. Nina, you have a beautiful monkey.
